I agree.
Additionally even trying to predict which oil will produce the least wear depends very much on the application.
Higher AW additives of one oil may be unnecessary and a higher HTHSV may mean that oil is simply heavier than necessary to the point of being counter-productive.
The point is they are all quality oils and under the right application any one could be best.
